"La tregua" è il racconto del ritorno di Primo Levi, il seguito di "Se questo è un uomo", che racconta le esperienze dell'autore durante il lungo viaggio attraverso Russia e Europa dell'Est per tornare alla sua Torino. Un viaggio assurdo, fatto di incontri con persone di civiltà e lingue diverse ma tutte vittime della stessa guerra. "Ci sono voluti anni per capire che quello che veniva etichettato come un testimone era uno dei più grandi scrittori del Novecento non soltanto italiano: cioè che era il migliore dei testimoni proprio perché grande scrittore."

Lars Møllers bog er en velunderbygget analyse af soldaters lyst - eller nærmere "ulyst" - til at slå ihjel. Men bogens titel til trods handler den om meget mere end det, hvilket gør den så meget mere interessant. "Vi slår ihjel og lever med det" bygger på en større spørgeskemaanalyse, som Møller har foretaget blandt danske soldater, der har været udsendt i international tjeneste. Hvad der er mindst lige så interessant ved bogen, er imidlertid den indgående gennemgang af, hvad der sker ved et menneskets kognitive funktioner under ekstrem stress. F.eks. i en kamphandling.

Marks mormor tyckte inte om erotik. Hon krävde av morfar att lampan skulle vara släckt. Och sen sprang hon och gömde sig. Gud så Marks morfar svor, där han jagade henne i mörkret. Trots att han varit med i båda världskrigen svor han på att en ryss i en vallgrav inte är något mot en mormor bakom en chiffonjé. Den 25 augusti utkommer Och jag läste att det var omöjligt att leva lycklig förutan dig. Där resonerar Mark Levengood kring ensamhet och samhörighet, hur vi som människor kan hitta fram till varandra bakom möbler eller andra hinder.

Tolstoy çağını çok iyi gözlemleyen bir yazardır. Aristokrat sınıfın amaçsız, debdebeli yaşantısını yoğun olarak eleştirmiştir. Uzun bir süre seyahat etmiş, tabiatı ve insanı incelemiştir.
